Video footage of METALLICA's rehearsal/soundcheck in Auckland, New Zealand prior to their concert on January 15, 2004 has been posted online at YouTube.com. The clip features METALLICA jamming on what appears to be a new riff/song, which may or may not be included in reworked form on the band's forthcoming CD.
METALLICA recently confirmed in a posting on their official web site that they have recruited Rick Rubin (SLAYER, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, SLIPKNOT, AUDIOSLAVE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) to produce their forthcoming studio LP. The news was accompanied on the site by several pictures of METALLICA in the studio with a shoeless Rubin. METALLICA officially began the songwriting process for their new album late last year and are expected to spend the next few months compiling ideas before entering the final recording stage. A late 2006/early 2007 release via Warner Bros. is expected. (Thanks: All Metallica)METALLICA: First Taste Of New Material?

What do you think of the
Norrøna Svalbard Flex 1 Softshell Jacket - Women's
? Share a...
Nice looking and great for all seasons
Contrary to one of the reviews, the fit is very flattering (Size Small in Purple Rain color).
The colorful design and sleek cut as pictured are what caught my attention to this jacket. It turns out just as what I expected. This jacket would be perfect as an outer jacket when it's windy and wet in spring/fall or as a mid layer in winter.
Also as expecting from Norrona, solid quality and craftsmanship.
Just tried this on at the backcountry store
I just tried this jacket on at the Backcountry store and wanted to give a heads up that I think it runs big. I usually wear a medium in tops and jackets - definitely a medium in Arcteryx, for example, but in this jacket a small was generous. Really nice, pretty light weight.
How would the Svalbard be as a wind shell?
Not flattering at all
I got this on SAC and was super disappointed. The sleeves are HUGE even when velcroed down (as in the picture), it is boxy and unflattering and the green is a little brighter than expected. If the armpit zips are open they flare out on the sides making you look even more rediculous (there is no mesh underneath to provide structure). Also the fabric is thinner than expected and I dont know how much warmth the jacket could resonably provide. Needless to say I returned the jacket.
worth the money!
The jacket is a little brighter green than I was expecting, but I still love it. It works great as an under layer when it's super cold outside. It keeps the wind out, but it's not really warm because of how thin it is. The fabric is good quality though. I ordered a large because I wanted to layer a lot, and it fits just like a large would. I normally wear a medium. The sleeves are long, the length is great; it's a little longer in the back and overall hits at mid hip. The collar is fairly high so I don't need a scarf or anything to keep the chill out when it's zipped up. I also like how it's soft under my chin. The lining is nice. I think it'd be great with a long sleeve shirt under for not too cold days, hiking, light rains etc. I wouldn't mind having another in a different color.
Nice for the price
Purchased this for my wife. It is a very complementing cut for females. Got the green which resembles a Kermit the Frog green which brightens the day if it is cloudy. She loves it and says it is very comfotable. The reason I gave it 4/5 is the price. Other companies offer good competative pricing. I purchased this on sale, but it is made in China like many other companies products. I find Norrona to be pricey, understandable if it was made in Norway, but not the case with this piece of gear. The Lifetime warranty is a plus though. It also has no liner, such as polartech, etc. Overall, my wife is very pleased with it.

Location convenient.
Size of room and slow linen replacement each day.
Traveled with 2 x 17 year old girls for a national schools football tournament, room size small, not what I expected, but I'm not complaining as they did change the booking at last minute to accommodate the extra teenager. Staff was friendly and chatty and for the convenience of the location and the price it was ok. Car spaces were at a minimum.

iOnRoad (www.ionroad.com), the maker of the iOnRoad app that improves driving in real-time using the power of modern computer vision algorithms and smart-phone cameras, announces today the release of its award-winning app on iOS 6 operating systems. iOnRoad now available for immediate download in the App StoreSM, is taking advantage of the leap in processing power of the iPhone® 5 and new navigation integration offered on iOS 6.
Black-box Video Recording
iOnRoad's new iOS 6 features bring about a whole new depth to driving assistance applications. The iOnRoad application's advanced fusion with iOS 6 navigation allows the driver the benefit of turn-by-turn navigation along with iOnRoad's augmented driving UI. Furthermore, iOnRoad's new "Black-box" like video recording feature acts as a virtual driving log, archiving users' driving history. Should an accident occur, drivers may now be given a greater understanding of the events leading up to it.
Safer, Greener Driving
"We have serviced hundreds of thousands of mobile users over the past year and are excited to provide iPhone® users an enhanced version of iOnRoad," said Alon Atsmon, CEO of iOnRoad. "In addition, the new in-phone analytics dashboard tells a driver how safe and 'green' the drive was and can even estimate gas prices, which is quite useful given the fluctuation in gas prices today."
From F-15's to Cars
iOnRoad uses the iPhone camera and sensors to detect lanes and vehicles in front of the vehicle, alerting drivers when they are in danger. The app provides a range of personal driving assistance functions including augmented driving, collision warning, speeding alert and safety scoring.
"We are witnessing a trend in which systems and features that we used to find in jet-planes such as navigation, collision warnings, HUD and night vision are increasingly finding their way into the driving environment," says Atsmon. iOnRoad's innovation and market leadership has been validated by numerous industry awards including the 2012 CTIA E-Tech Award, CES 2012 showcase award, and one of Gartner's cool vendors in automotive for 2012.
The iOS 6 version of iOnRoad is compatible with the iPhone® 5 and other iOS 6 devices and is available for immediate download from the App StoreSM for a special new-year price of $1.99. To view iOnRoad in action, visit http://youtube/XRTLk13FXkk.
About iOnRoad

Had I realised how complicated an editing job this one would turn out to be I'm not sure I would have bothered as it took ages to get right. The main reason I struggled with it is that I manually combined two hand-held exposures that weren't especially easy to align, but it also took ages to get the balance between the tractor and the rest of the image exactly how I wanted it.
Anyway, 21 adjustment layers later (it could probably have been far fewer), and about four hours longer than I expected, here it is: an old David Brown's tractor on Fleetwood beach.

Yadav, V and Sudhagar, R and Medhamurthy, R (2002) Apoptosis During Spontaneous and Prostaglandin F2a-Induced Luteal Regression in the Buffalo Cow (Bubalus bubalis): Involvement of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases. In: Biology of Reproduction, 67 (3). pp. 752-759.
Apoptosis_and_Buffalo_CL.pdf Download (330Kb) |
The present study was conducted to evaluate whether corpus luteum (CL) of the buffalo cow undergoes luteal regression by the process of apoptosis, and to examine the involvement of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases during PGF2a-induced luteolysis. Sections of CL from late-estrous cycle i.e., during spontaneous luteolysis, stained for DAPI revealed increased number of condensed nuclei indicating cell death by apoptosis confirmed further by the occurrence of pronounced oligonucleosome formation. For morphological and biochemical characterization during PGF2a-induced apoptosis, CL were collected at 0, 4, 12 and 18 h after injection of 750 mg of Tiaprost, a synthetic analog of PGF2a to mid-estrous cycle buffalo cows. Serum P4 concentrations fell within 4 h and decreased (p < 0.05) maximally by 18 h. A concomitant decrease (p < 0.05) in the levels of StAR mRNA and protein were observed in CL during 12-18 h, with profound effect on mRNA levels. Quantitative analysis of the genomic DNA showed a >5 fold increase (p < 0.05) in the low molecular weight DNA fragments by 18 h post injection. Immunoblot analysis of CL tissue lysates showed increased (p < 0.05) levels of phospho-JNK1 (4-14 fold during 4-18 h) and phospho-p38 (2-4 fold at 18 h). Immunohistochemistry of CL sections revealed an increased nuclear localization of phospho-JNK after treatment. These findings demonstrate that CL of the buffalo cow undergoes cell death by the process of apoptosis both during spontaneous and PGF2a-induced luteolysis, and that MAP kinases are involved during PGF2a-mediated apoptosis in the CL.

The Last Act Of Defiance Lyrics
Artist: Exodus
Album: Fabulous Disaster
The prison system, inherently unjust and inhumane
Is the ultimate expression of injustice
and inhumanity in the society at large.
Those of us on the outside do not like
to think of wardens and guards as our surrogates, yet they are.
And they are intimately locked in a deadly embrace
with their human captives behind prison walls.
By extension, so are we.
The terrible double meaning is thus imparted
to the original question of human ethics
"Am I my brother's keeper?"
The second of February, 1980
Began three days of misery
A scene of retaliation
Epitomizing violence, horror, and vindication
Thieves, murderers, and rapists
Inundated their prison like homicidal sadists
Guards and convicts alike would pay the price
To them the electric chair would look like paradise
Only degradation, torture, and cremation would suffice
A sea of agony rolled in like the coming of the tide
The more fortunate escaped the insanity through suicide
The screams of the dying would haunt the living to the grave
Survivors of the riot relive the nightmare every day
The last act of defiance
With a never-ending appetite
Barbiturates set them off like dynamite
Eradicating informants
Acetylene torches dealt the punishment
Melted from skin to bone
The fire silenced their screams to moans
Smoke filled the air from bodies set aflame
Begging for mercy, but their words were spoken in vain
They weren't allowed to perish until they cherished all the pain
Guards they had taken hostage
Were to blame for pushing them over the edge
Their brutality would be their demise
Like sharks in a frenzy they lashed out at their prize
When the madness had ended
The gore was too intense to be comprehended
No one explained the real reason why
For cruelty of a few, so many should die
They knew of the flaws, but still insist the cause was justified

North Korea has threatened the U.S. of a "merciless response" if the latter pushes through with the release of James Franco and Seth Rogen's comedy, "The Interview," in October this year.
The Interview's plot follows two journalists taking orders from the CIA to assassinate Kim Jong-un. The film makes fun of the North Korean leader as it plays around legends that "he can speak to dolphins" and that "he never has to urinate or defecate."
A spokesman for North Korea's Foreign Ministry said the film constitutes "an act of war" and a "wanton act of terror."
"The act of making and screening such a movie that portrays an attack on our top leadership ... is a most wanton act of terror and act of war, and is absolutely intolerable," the ministry said in a statement published by the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
Kim Myong-chol, executive director of The Centre for North Korea-U.S. Peace and an unofficial spokesman for North Korea, tagged the upcoming movie as a showcase of desperation in the U.S. government.
"There is a special irony in this storyline as it shows the desperation of the US government and American society. A film about the assassination of a foreign leader mirrors what the US has done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine. And let us not forget who killed [President John F.] Kennedy - Americans. In fact, President [Barack] Obama should be careful in case the US military wants to kill him as well," Myong-chol told The Telegraph.
Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Julie Bishop is also under the threat of North Korea following her statement saying the North Korean leader "can hardly claim legitimacy as a leader."
Bishop, apparently, hurt the dignity of the nation's supreme leader and her behavior was a mere slandering.
Her etiquette as Australia's international representative was also condemned through her statement.
"Great irony is that although she is the foreign minister of a country, she unhesitatingly let loose a spate of reckless remarks slandering the other country and interfering in its internal affairs, not properly understanding even the elementary principle of the UN Charter and the essence of the regional peace and security," the statement read.

Has anyone used spidertrax or any wheel spacers for that matter with aftermarket wheels? If so, please enlighten me with with your specs, experience so far, and pics if you have them. My consideration for wheel spacers is purely cosmetic.

Anyone have any in depth reviews or comments about the Phantom 301? I have/had a Kona and have sold it to a newbie. Time for me to get a new board for light wind cruising, should I get another Kona? Or is the Phantom worthy???
Very little talk or chatter about this board, so not sure what it is all about. Any owners or fans wish to give me a heads up good & bad, pros and cons, if/where it excells and its weaknesses??? Give me some info please. My Kona was my first non *board in 10 years. Still have my FS, HS & C *boards, bought and sold many starts to newbies, I am trying to grow the sport in small ways. Our BONC group is now around 65+ strong. RIDE ON!!! -BONC |

Five of the state's 18 shark attacks last year occurred along Florida's Gulf Coast, which is a greater proportion to the Atlantic coast than previous years, Burgess said. "It's unusual to have only 13 attacks on the state's eastern coast," he said.
Elsewhere in the United States, five attacks occurred in South Carolina, four each in Texas and Hawaii, three in California, two in North Carolina and one each in New Jersey and Oregon.
Surfers were the most frequent victims, accounting for 29 incidents, followed by swimmers and waders, 20, and divers, four.

The Cubs and Rangers may have jumped ahead of the Nationals for Brandon Webb, but Bill Ladson of MLB.com reports that the club remains interested in Carl Pavano.
Pavano, who turns 35 in January, is considered by many to be the best free agent starting pitcher left on the market. He went 17-11 with a 3.75 ERA and 117/37 K/BB ratio over 32 starts with the Twins this past season, topping 200 innings for the first time since he won 18 games in 2004.
Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com opined yesterday that the Twins regained some leverage in their efforts to re-sign Pavano after Zack Greinke was traded to the Brewers (a potential suitor), but it won't be so easy as long as teams like the Nationals and Rangers are still looking for pitching. In fact, Ladson hears from a source that the Nats spoke with Pavano's people just yesterday.
There has been a reluctance among teams to give Pavano more than two years thus far, and that makes sense given his injury history, but the first team willing to go three years at over $10 million per season will probably get him. As we have already learned this winter, don't sleep on those Nats.
- pisano - Dec 21, 2010 at 10:35 AM
With the lack of post on this subject it appears no one is interested in Pavano.
- Jeremiah Graves - Dec 21, 2010 at 3:18 PM
I'd be okay with the Twins bringing him back, but I'd hate to commit three guaranteed years to a guy who is on the wrong-side of 35 and has such a spotty history of staying healthy. Maybe two guaranteed years and a vesting option with some serious incentives.
By the time the contract ends, Kyle Gibson and Alex Wimmers should be well-established at/near the front of the rotation.

Structured PhD (Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences) (Philosophy of Art and Culture)
College of Arts, Social Sciences, & Celtic Studies,
School of Humanities
Course overview
The programme
This is an interdisciplinary, cross institutional PhD programme between NUI, Galway and Mary Immaculate College in the University of Limerick. This full-time programme will provide students with a PhD following four years of thesis-orientated research and taught modules. Students will be registered at one of the host institutions but will attend classes provided by both.
Over the four years, the programme will provide students with access to the expertise of a range of scholars within each institution, as they develop their research ideas and enhance their research skills.
The programme draws on two main contemporary approaches to philosophical aesthetics and culture—the Anglo-American analytic tradition, and that of Continental Philosophy. These two approaches rarely intersect. In consequence, their respective strengths are exercised in isolation, and often in contexts that fail to engage directly with theory and practice in the arts, and the broader cultural issues in which they are embedded.
This new research programme overcomes these divisions at all levels. Indeed, by blending expertise from the two institutions, the programme explores the philosophy of art and culture in an intellectually enriched setting. The programme is also able to give equal emphasis to visual art and literature, and to offer special strength in phenomenological and hermeneutical approaches.
There is an additional vital element. It is based on direct interaction with contemporary artistic/cultural practices through the Arts Community Internship core module at NUI, Galway. This module involves students working for a semester with some institution concerned with the practice, discussion, display, or conservation of art and culture (or, indeed, all these things).
Structured PhDs at NUI Galway--general information
Download Structured PhD guidelines (PDF file) here
As part of the doctoral training available on the Structured PhD programme, students avail themselves of a range of interdisciplinary taught modules. The wide menu of available options include modules that:
- are Discipline-Specific in that they augment the student's existing knowledge in their specialist area
- are Dissertation-Specific in that they supply core skills which are essential to completion of the research project, e.g., additional language skills
- acknowledge a student's professional development, e.g., presentation of a paper at an International Conference
- enhance a student's employability through generic training, e.g., Careers Workshops, computer literacy.
Each student will be assigned a primary Supervisor(s) and a Graduate Research Committee made up of experienced researchers to plan their programme of study and to provide on-going support to their research.
The Department has general research strengths in aesthetics, philosophy of art and culture, applied ethics, phenomenology, and the history of Irish thought.
Programmes available
Structured PhD (Philosophy of Art and Culture)—full-time, inter-institutional
The programme has the great advantage of allowing students to combine subject-specific philosophy courses, related academic studies, and generic skills modules, from those on offer at both institutions.
Students will take a number of core and optional modules from the following:
- Phenomenology of Art and Culture (NUI, Galway)
- Arts Community Internship (NUI, Galway)
- History and Philosophy of Pictorial Space (NUI, Galway)
- Knowledge and Modernity (NUI, Galway)
- Philosophy and the Subject (Mary Immaculate College, Limerick)
- Literary Aesthetics (Mary Immaculate College, Limerick)
- Introduction to Hermeneutics (Mary Immaculate College, Limerick)
- Arts and Cultures of Display: Museums, Galleries, Curating (Mary Immaculate College, Limerick)
- Cultural Philosophy of Globalization (NUI Galway)
- Environmental Aesthetics (NUI Galway)

Many years ago, in the middle of a particularly cold and snowy winter, I needed a quick get-away for a few days to Mexico. Sun Country Airlines had the best price, so I booked a charter flight for a long weekend on the beach.
When I arrived at the Humphrey Terminal, with sunscreen, books and t-shirts packed in my luggage, I walked into chaos. The lines were long and the airport employees crabby. Many of my co-travelers had clearly started their holiday at a bar and were feeling no pain by the time we checked in and boarded our flight. The flight from Minneapolis to Puerto Vallarta was more like last call at Hooter's on a Saturday night than it was a flight on a reputable airline. When the flight finally landed in Mexico, after hours on a party bus in the sky, I vowed never to fly Sun Country again. My how things have changed.

Back to Cardiovascular Diseases
Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is the abrupt onset of digital (fingertips) pallor and/or cyanosis (bluish discoloration) in response to cold exposure or stress.
RP is due to changes in the flow of blood to the fingertips. When the finger is white or pale, there is very little blood in the finger. When the fingertip is blue, there is blood present but the flow is so slow that the oxygen has left the blood, turning the blood blue rather than red.
When there is no evidence of an underlying illness, this condition is termed "primary" RP. RP can, however, be an early symptom of an underlying disease and, in those cases, is "secondary" RP. Any condition that slows blood flow to the fingertips may cause RP.
Illnesses associated with RP include atherosclerosis ("artery hardening"), abnormal proteins in the blood, a blood vessel disease caused by smoking (Buerger?s disease), inflammation in the blood vessels (vasculitis) and by several autoimmune connective tissue diseases.
The connective tissue diseases most likely to cause RP are scleroderma, dermatomyositis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Rheumatoid arthritis can sometimes cause RP. RP is a nearly universal symptom of scleroderma (occurs in up to 90% of the patients) and is the most common first symptom. Several decades may pass from the time of onset of RP until the diagnosis of scleroderma is made. In other cases, the nature of the scleroderma is evident shortly after, or even before, the onset of the RP.
Most often Raynaud's phenomenon affects the fingers and toes. It can also affect the ears and nose. One?s fingertips turning blue or white upon exposure to cold. The color returns to normal on warming. The cold exposure can be in any of several forms, including cool ambient temperatures, picking up a cool object or drinking a cool drink. Sometimes people who experience RP notice that the fingertip turns red after the blue or white period. RP episodes may last minutes to hours, but are most often about 10 to 15 minutes long. People frequently have episodes associated with driving in cold weather, opening the food freezer, drinking cold drinks, and entering air-conditioned areas.
RP is a common trait among perfectly healthy people. Between 5 and 10% of healthy people have RP.

In patients with mild vasospastic attacks, reassurance about the benign nature of the disease and instructions on how to prevent attacks are often all that is needed. Mittens are better than gloves for keeping the hands warm. Patients need to be especially careful when handling cold objects. Hand and foot warming devices (battery operated or chemical) may be helpful.
Patients who have infrequent attacks of Raynaud's phenomenon may benefit from a short-acting calcium channel blocker.
When vasospasm occurs more frequently, the extended-release preparations of nifedipine (30-90 mg daily), amlodipine (2.5-10 mg daily), or diltiazem (120-300 mg daily) are effective. The alpha1 -adrenergic receptor antagonists such as prasozin or terazosin can also decrease the severity, frequency, and duration of vasospastic attacks in patients. Nitroglycerin can be used topically in patients, whereas prostacyclin can be given intravenously. The angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril has shown some benefit.

President Obama's lowest moment was when he tried to pivot from a real question talking about paying for more teachers and education to "grow jobs." Romney missed the obvious rejoinder: "Mr. President, education is very important, but as Jeremy asked you, the bigger problem we have is that 50 percent of new college graduates don't have jobs. They've done their part, where is the growing economy they need and the country needs, Mr. President?"
Voters hated it similarly when Romney pivoted from a question to insert his response to Obama's attack ads on his pension fund's investments in China.
Voters hate the feeling that they are being "played" by politicians. They hate, in particular, the feeling that it's so hard to figure out what's really true -- when so much is at stake.
Romney's fumbles and missed opportunities have the same root as the preposterous abortion ad he is now running -- traditional Northeastern Republican issues-pessimism about the core of the Republican Party's values. He has to massage their message, not run on it.
In all the swing states, Obama's abortion extremism should be a negative. But with Romney and the Romney Super PACs steadfastly committed to ignoring the social issues, Obama is free to press and define his attack, and Romney is left in a defensive crouch on issues that should be helping him swing those states.
The worst part is, if he ekes out a victory (as I think he will), the GOP elites will get exactly the wrong message about the path to victory.

Noah's Ark case leaves professor high and dry
LAST April, when the Federal Court in Sydney began hearing what became known across Australia as the "Noah's Ark case", Justice Ronald Sackville asked, "Where will we start?". The senior counsel for Professor Ian Plimer answered: "In the beginning . . ."
It was a suitably biblical response to a case in which science confronted creationism. Now the case has ended with the conflict between science and religion set to remain eternal. Both sides in the dispute claimed victory, but neither was really a winner.
Professor Plimer, head of earth sciences at the University of Melbourne, had accused an elder of the Hills Bible Church in Sydney, Allen Roberts, of breaching Australia's Trade Practices Act in a series of public lectures in 1992, in which he claimed a boat-shaped rock formation in eastern Turkey contained Noah's Ark.
Justice Sackville found that Mr Roberts had made false and misleading claims, and fined him Aus$2500 (Pounds 1160) for using an illustration without permission from a book written by an American marine salvage expert, David Fasold, who had joined Professor Plimer in the action.
But the judge rejected Professor Plimer's argument that the Trade Practices Act could extend beyond the commercial realm to cover false claims made in public.
"Some issues - no matter how great the passions they arouse - are more appropriately dealt with outside the courtroom," he said.
The judge refused to impose an injunction called for by Professor Plimer against Mr Roberts expressing his views.
From the start, the outcome of the case - and the case itself - seemed destined to confound many people's expectations.
For instance, before giving evidence Professor Plimer swore on the Bible, but Mr Roberts gave an affirmation. After the judge announced his decisions, Professor Plimer said, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh".
Newspaper leader writers, while endorsing Professor Plimer's stand, welcomed the judge's intimation that issues of freedom of speech were at stake.
Justice Sackville warned that great caution should be used in seeking to restrain statements of religious or ideological belief, at least when commercial gain was not the prime motive.
"Unless caution is exercised, there is a serious risk that the courts will be used as a means of suppressing debate and discussion on issues of general interest to the community," he said.
Outside the court, Mr Roberts said he felt completely vindicated by the decision, but refused to comment on the finding that he had made false statements.
Professor Plimer declared he was disappointed but not beaten. The case had shown the fraud inherent in creationism, he said.
"It's bad science, it's bad religion and it's underpinned by misleading and deceptive conduct," he said.
Now facing a huge bill for legal costs - the case is said to have cost both sides Aus$500,000 - and having been forced to sell his house in Melbourne, Professor Plimer said he would consider an appeal.

Creating Apple Loops Using The Apple Loops Utility
Mo Volans on Jul 16, 2012 in Logic Pro • 1 comments
I'm sure that quite a few of you use Apple loops in your productions. They are great for quickly finding exactly the right flavor of groove, in the right key and most importantly at the right tempo.
Although Apple's stock library, Jam Packs and third-party Apple loop collections are excellent, it's also useful to be able to create your own Apple loops. To do this you can take advantage of Apple's bundled Apple loop utility. Here's how...
The Apple Loop Utility
Surprisingly enough the Apple loop utility is neatly tucked away in the Utilities folder, within Applications. It's an extremely lightweight little app and the learning curve here is not too steep at all, so if you've never used it don't panic!
You'll find the Apple loop utility tucked away in your applications folder after a Logic Pro install.
On opening the app you'll be presented with a browser window, prompting you to open an audio file. As you can see here I navigated straight to a collection of wav loops on my drive. You can literally use any loop you like here and converting your own recordings or exported loops is a great way to get started.
On opening the app you'll be presented with a browser window.
With your loop open you should see it on the right hand side of the utility, in the 'assets' area. You can now select it and you are ready to start creating your first Apple loop.
Our file is open and ready to edit!
Tweaking Properties
Apple loops contain a fair bit of data and it's not all related to time and pitch. The amount of varying metadata you can store in one of these loops is pretty impressive. To give you an idea of what's possible I've entered a few values of my own here.
I've started by filling in the author section, told the utility my Apple loop is a 'looping' sound and that it's got a 4/4 time signature. I also put a small note in the comments area to describe the loop.
Some basic properties are entered.
I have also entered a small amount of data into the search tag area and filed the loop under Drums/Electric Beats. This will help us find the loop when searching categories. In fact the more time you spend here and the more data you enter the easier the loop will be to find later, especially in larger libraries.
And a few descriptors.
I took a little time ticking some of the descriptors on the right hand side of the interface. Again this will help you identify your loop when searching for a specific kind of file either by mood, genre or type.
Editing Transients
Creating Apple loops isn't all about meta tagging and data entry, you also want to be sure that it will play back correctly at any tempo. To get this right you will want to head to the Transients tab.
You'll be presented with a compact sample editor here and there should already be a number of markers present. These can be manually deleted, moved or created by clicking in the upper timeline. The space in between in each marker represents a 'slice' of your Apple loop and the playback of your loops will be determined by the placement of these markers.
The Transients area.
Unlike many other slice based editors I tend to find that Apple loops work pretty well when the markers are at a uniform distance form each other and are repeated throughout the file. You should also take care to ensure there are markers at key points such as the start of kicks or snares.
Try starting with 1/16th placements and then go from there, adjusting the sensitivity as you go. This should allow you to populate your Apple loop with the correct amount of markers. Once finished be sure to hit save!
Once completed hit save!
Saving Your User Loops
In this case our wav loop was converted to Aiff or CAF (the format used for Apple loops) and once saved was automatically written to the same folder as the original sample. You can see from the shot below that a new folder has been created to house the newly converted loop.
The newly converted loop is put into a new folder automatically.
You can now drag this into your Apple Loops user folder (located at User/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops/ Single Files) or alternatively you can store it in your own sample library and load it into Logic or Garage Band when you see fit.
Moving the new Apple loop to the user loop area.
The advantage of the first method is that it will be automatically scanned by OS X and will appear in your Apple Loop browser. Let's see what that looks like in Logic Pro.
Opening Your Loops In Logic
Once in Logic you should be able to navigate to the Loop browser and pick up your newly added Apple loop by either searching for its name directly, or selecting the data tags that you entered in the utility.
Our new loop in the Logic loop browser.
And imported into a new audio track.
Once you find the loop you are after you can drag and drop it into your projects in the same way as you would with any other audio file. It should play back at any tempo as well. Nice and simple... now start building your own custom Apple loop library!
But converting the loops to Apple loops before importing them into your projects allows you more flexibility in your projects and there tempo adjustments.

He's exactly the same color of a male cat I adored who also died too young. I wish you only sweet memories of him.
He looks so much like my dear Shadow, who passed quietly 3/14/08. He was 18 years and one month old.
I'm so sorry to hear that. It's so hard saying goodbye to our little ones. All my wishes for you both.

See a preview clip for Once Upon a Time's winter finale episode "Queen of Hearts," which features Belle, Hook and Regina! What brings those three together?
There's one more episode of Once Upon a Time left in 2012, Oncers! Luckily it promises to be a good one, full of surprises.
In this sneak peek, we get a preview of one of them: it turns out that Captain Hook has a bit of a history not only with Regina, but with Belle! Check it out:
Are you surprised by this turn of events? Do you think that Hook does still have some good in him, or is he completely corrupted by his need for revenge at this point?
Once Upon a Time 2×08 "Queen of Hearts" airs Sunday at 8/7c on ABC.
In the episode,
Cora and Captain Hook face off with Mary Margaret and Emma in a race to secure the compass, which will point its holder to the portal into Storybrooke. But back on the other side, Regina and Mr. Gold, desperate to keep Cora out, put a plan into action that would kill anyone entering the portal, placing Mary Margaret's and Emma's lives in danger as well. Meanwhile, back in the fairytale land that was, Captain Hook travels to Wonderland and meets up with a vengeful Queen of Hearts.
Do you think that the Queen of Hearts is Cora?

Gov. Christie has the Democrats over a barrel. And that barrel is filled with pork.
The pork in question consists of all the contracts and jobs that would accompany the construction of the stalled ARC project. Democratic leaders on both the state and federal level make no secret of the fact that they see the plan to build two additional rail tunnels to
"Killing this project would cost our state thousands of good paying jobs," said U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg the other day in protest against the governor's call for a 30-day halt in the project because of cost concerns.
But Lautenberg didn't mention where a lot of the jobs created by ARC would be located - in
Imagine a hole dug 175 feet deep along a busy
Where will they come up with that cash? That's the question a federal auditor is asking. A report by the inspector general of the Federal Transportation Authority warns of potential cost overruns. The most likely source of such overruns would be the infighting that turned a plan that benefitted commuters into one that benefitted bureaucrats.
The original goal of the "Access to the Region's Core" project was to give Jersey commuters access to Grand Central Station on the east side of
That was a commuter's dream, and the National Association of Railroad Passengers loved it. But fighting among the many transit agencies turned the plan into a commuter's nightmare. First to go was the link to Grand Central. Next to be nixed was the link to
ARC had nowhere to go. And that's where it 's going. The current plan calls for NJ Transit to build a multi-billion-dollar terminal so deep underground that it will not connect to anything but an endless chain of escalators.
The most recent edition of the NARP newsletter urged Christie to use the 30-day delay to return to the original plan for ARC. That, said the group, would have "both transportation and cost-saving benefits."
The primary savings benefit would come from eliminating that new terminal, which could cause overruns that sparked the feds' concern for future funding. That IG's report recommends that the feds "obtain an amended project agreements between NJT and the Port Authority and the Turnpike Authority regarding distribution of responsibilities for any future cost overruns."
This may be the point at which that dead-end terminal hits a dead-end. The Port Authority has already agreed to match the feds' $3 billion contribution to the projected $8.7 billion price tag. As for the Turnpike Authority, in 2008 the Corzine administration raised tolls and promised $1.25 billion of the revenue to ARC.
Could the Turnpike Authority contract to cover potential cost overruns on a building in
Lance now holds down a seat in Congress, but when he was a state senator, he was a stickler for fiscal propriety. When Corzine raised those tolls, Lance led an unsuccessful effort to overturn the move, citing a state statute that prohibits using toll revenues for non-highway projects.
When I called him yesterday, Lance said Christie can't be expected to ask the Turnpike authority to underwrite unknown overruns for ARC.
"What statutory authority permits that?" Lance asked.
More important, why would Christie even want to save ARC? If the plan falls apart, Christie's biggest problem goes away. That's how to fix the Transportation Trust Fund, which goes broke next year. If the feds deep-six the tunnel, he's got $1.25 billion to use to avoid a gas-tax hike.
If this were a game of poker in a passenger car, the governor would be holding the high cards. So it may be time for the advocates of ARC to go back to the drawing board.
Maybe this time they can come up with a plan for Access to the Region's Core that actually provides access to the region's core.
United Republican Caucus Will Introduce Legislative Veto Resolution
Senate Republican Leader Thomas H. Kean (R-Essex/Union/Somerset/Morris) and Senate Republican Budget Officer Leonard Lance (R-Hunterdon/Warren) announced that the 17 members of the Senate Republican Conference will seek a rare legislative veto of the proposed Turnpike and Parkway toll increases. A legislative veto is the proper procedure to use when the Executive Branch tries to impose rules or regulations that do not follow the clear intent of a law.
"The time has come to stop the Trenton Democrats' plans for huge toll increases that violate state law," Kean said. "The Governor has the ability to veto the toll increase, but given that he is the one behind this proposal, it's unlikely he will act. Therefore, the 17 members of the Senate Republican caucus will take up this fight, and we invite our Democratic colleagues to join us. The Governor is asking for higher tolls for a purpose that is in clear violation of the wording and intent of the law authorizing the Turnpike and Parkway consolidation."
The procedure for exercise of legislative review and veto of Executive Branch agency and independent authority rules and regulations is set forth in Article V, Section IV, Paragraph 6 of the New Jersey Constitution, Lance and Kean said. A Concurrent Resolution, which does not require the Governor's signature, must be adopted by both houses stating the Legislature's finding that a rule or regulation is inconsistent with the legislative intent. The Constitution provides the agency or authority 30 days to withdraw or amend the rule or regulation. Then a public hearing must be held if the executive branch agency fails to amend or withdraw the rule or regulation. Finally, a second Concurrent Resolution must be adopted by both Houses to invalidate or prohibit the rule or regulation.
"Testimony from the former commissioner of transportation on the language contained in the 2003 Turnpike consolidation legislation has raised serious questions about the legality of using tolls to finance a rail tunnel into
N.J.S.A. 27:23-5(g) provides:
In the exercise of its powers, by resolution to fix and revise from time to time and charge and collect tolls, fees, licenses, rents, concession charges, and other charges for each transportation project or any part thereof constructed or acquired by it. No toll revenue derived from the New Jersey Turnpike or Garden State Parkway shall be used or available for any transportation project other than a highway project and all transportation projects other than highway projects shall be self-sustaining: provided however that such toll revenues may be used to finance or support the costs of non-highway transportation projects on an interim basis according to such terms, with or without interest, as the authority shall establish. (Emphasis added)
"The legislative intent of the statute is clear and supported by the testimony and public statements of the responsible officials of the Executive Branch, as well as the sponsors of the legislation," Lance said. "Toll revenues cannot be used for non-highway projects, even a project as worthy as the trans-Hudson tunnel. The Governor isn't the only one who can veto this proposal. The Legislature, as a co-equal branch of government, can as well."
"Republicans support a well-funded and safely maintained transportation system, including the trans-Hudson tunnel" Kean said. "We do not support raising tolls to pay for projects that the people have demanded are financed with existing revenue. The Governor can't get a gas tax increase through the Legislature. So rather than cut unnecessary spending as the public demands, he's pushing through a toll increase to get around the opposition.
"To permit toll revenues to be raised for whatever purposes the Governor wishes sets a dangerous precedent that should alarm members of both parties," Kean continued. "In the days ahead, we will be reaching out to the leadership of the Legislature to organize hearings on the toll increase. This approach is far more democratic than the three hearings in 20 hours before unelected state officials that the Governor plans to use to push these toll hikes through. We ask our Democratic colleagues to join us in our fight to make our state more affordable and protect

In this paper we present equivalent characterizations of k-Kernel symmetric Matrices. Necessary and sufficient conditions are determined for a matrix to be k-Kernel Symmetric. We give some basic results of kernel symmetric matrices. It is shown that k-symmetric implies k-Kernel symmetric but the converse need not be true. We derive some basic properties of k-Kernel symmetric fuzzy matrices. We obtain k-similar and scalar product of a fuzzy matrix.

This image from Vanessa Auld of UBC won first place in the microscopy category: Drosophila neuromuscular junction stained for extracellular matrix proteins (green and blue) and the nerve terminal (red). Therapeutic focus: Neurodegenerative disease.
(Page 1 of 1)
Vanessa Auld from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Martin Barr from St James' Hospital and Trinity College Dublin, and Graham Wright from the Institute of Medical Biology, A*STAR, in Singapore have each won the GE Healthcare 2013 Cell Imaging Competition.Their winning images will be lighting up Times Square at a special event between April 25–27.
Auld won first place in the Microscopy category, Barr won first place in the High-Content Analysis category, and Wright was a regional winner in the Microscopy category.
GE Healthcare says the Cell Imaging Competition aims to celebrate the research of scientists across the world using GE's IN Cell Analyzer, DeltaVision™ Elite, and DeltaVision OMX™ systems in their work.
"This year's three winning images are once again incredibly beautiful and compelling, reminding us of the cellular complexity behind disease and why the study of cells is so important," said Eric Roman, general manager of research and applied markets at GE Healthcare Life Sciences, in a statement. "We were delighted to receive so many outstanding entries to the competition, which highlights how cell imaging is helping scientists explore the universe of the cell and is advancing our understanding of so many life-threatening and life-limiting diseases."

Last Day of Season
So today was the last day of the season and I wanted to do as many things as I could. Laugh all you want but due to my lack of experience, I fell on my torso after launching about five feet off a kicker. It was the hardest bail I've had so far and now my left arm is pretty weak. I don't think it's anything serious but any tips regarding jumps and kickers would be greatly appreciated as I don't want this to happen again.

Keep your board flat-based on the approach. With enough speed you shouldn't need to pop or ollie off the lip, your momentum should carry you. Your knees should bend as you compress to absorb the impact of the landing. Get used to that feeling of being in the air and also the landing. Start small and work your way up to bigger features!

Tuck your body when your in the air, you become a smaller object and it becomes a lot easier to stay balanced for a good landing. If you keep your body expanded when you pop off a jump, you get that "Woah shit" out of balance feeling which usually ends up in not landing flat on the base. If your landing and the impact feels really hard, loosen up your legs so that they can compress on impact, and try widening your stance, that makes a big difference with being able to handle sketchy landings.

thanks for the advice guys! i might go one more time this season since my local mountain has extended their operation for another week. i'm probably just going to try a few small kickers and stay away from the bigger ones so I can follow your tips and not leave a bad taste in my mouth during the summer.

Dont go out of your boundaries, stay within your ability you'll get better every time, just dont go send it off big ass kickers. i learned that last year, first time hittin kickers bigger than small last year, and by the end of the season i was hitting the small side of the 2 big jumps at the bottom of our mountain and on an icy day i ended up going to big and landing on my back. I took that and took a step back, got back to riding park after recovering from a few days laying on couch with a cracked rib. This year i just rode and stepped it up a bit every day, i didn't hit the bottom jumps but i was hitting this 35 footer and doing rails, got comfortable and started spinning off the jump and then by the end of the season i hit up the bottom jumps again and i had the jumps down, spun off the last one to that i killed myself on the year before. you gotta work your way up, find a small jump and get comfortable on it and then start spinning if you want to, then work your way up to a bigger jump. try finding a green run with some small jumps and hits around it and get comfortable riding that, low consequence small jumps and transitions on a hit run and you'll get better. just have fun, dont worry about having to hit that huge ass jump.
p.s. your from van? what mountain you ride? grouse seymour? im from kamloops =D |

If I'm right about Sunpeaks, what's it like? I'm thinking of doing a road trip to the interior next year, and that seems like the logical destination.

I was at grouse tuesday and thursday last week and it was a blast (especially thusday they had just gotten almost 12" of fresh snow and stayed at freezing most the day) Glad to hear they extended to May 15th more play time for me I am actually heading to blackcomb wed/thur/fri but the week after I will have to get to grouse again During the winter I tend to go to Hemlock alot (realy cheap for a family with thursdays free for the ladies and $5 lift tickets after 3pm on fridays) . Went to seymour once this year was really dissapointed with the place it was exactly as I remember it from like 18 years ago when I was there as a kid. Loved going to cypress and is most likely where I will get a season pass for next year.

Ostraversnik, M., and Murray-Smith, D. (1994) Comparison of parallel simulation techniques: Parsytec Transputer Supercluster/SLIM (Part 1). EUROSIM: Simulation News Europe(11), pp. 34-35.
Full text not currently available from Enlighten.
This paper describes work carried out to port a continuous system simulation tool (SLIM) to the SIMD/MIMD environment provided by a Parsytec Supercluster involving a T800 transputer based parallel system. For the task considered (involving up to 17 processors) the speed-up of the exeution process was found almost linearly dependent on the number of processors and for 17 processors the speed-up factor was nearly 14.5 times. Howver relative error values were found to increase as the number of processors increased, probably due to problems associated with the large amount of calculated data transferred from the transputer array to the main memory of the front-end processsor. The paper concludes with suggestions about how performance could be improved for this type of application.

The Problem With... Jessie J's "Price Tag"
In the last quarter, we've seen a handful of British artists arrive at the top of American charts. We've had Adele, with her soul sound that draws in people over 30. Ellie Goulding, too, with her hipster-approved Swedish bicycle. Rapper Tinie Tempah, meanwhile, has doled out some Yeezy-tier productions.
Now comes Jessie J, somewhat of a sleeper in this British wave.
So imagine my surprise when I discovered Jessie co-wrote Miley Cyrus' only good song, "Party in the U.S.A."
Hey, it's better than what Miley's singing nowadays.
My first impression of Jessie J: She's a British version of P!nk. She looks like she's playing the "I'm above today's pop" card to reach the "nitty-gritty, dirty little freak" demographic, as P!nk does. And, like P!nk, she suffers from it.
With her new single, "Price Tag," she wants listeners to think that she's for real, that's she's doing this for love of the form. It's got a bit of soul influence. It also features the line "We need to take it back in time / When music made us all unite," which kinda causes the needle on the record player in my head to skip a beat or two.
I don't like using the term "try-hard" -- it makes me think of people like this -- but it sorta fits in this case. Jessie's attempt at authenticity and nostalgia isn't as seamless as another Brit singer whose name starts with A.
Fortunately, B.o.B. is here to lend a helping hand. Great as he sounds, though, he seems rather tacked-on to this track. It's like his inclusion was specifically about the "cha-ching, cha-ching," as the chorus says.
Speaking of the chorus: It sounds a bit like the one in P!nk's last single "Fuckin' Perfect."
The good news: Jessie seems to be in the ad-lib stage of her career. She's taking a few themes and seeing where they take her musically.
I just don't think Jessie has really found her niche yet. Here's hoping she doesn't window shop like this for a good chunk of her career. Otherwise, that return line is gonna be a bitch in, like, 90 days or so.

Classic western. According to Wikipedia: "Frederick Schiller Faust (May 29, 1892 - May 12, 1944) was an American fiction author known primarily for his thoughtful and literary Westerns. Faust wrote mostly under pen names, and today is primarily known by one, Max Brand. Others include George Owen Baxter, Evan Evans, David Manning, John Frederick, Peter Morland, George Challis, and Frederick Frost. ... Faust managed a massive outpouring of fiction, rivaling Edgar Wallace and especially Isaac Asimov as one of the most prolific authors of all time. He wrote more than 500 novels for magazines and almost as many stories of shorter length. His total literary output is estimated to have been between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 words. Most of his books and stories were turned out at breakneck rate, sometimes as quickly as 12,000 words in the course of a weekend. New books based on magazine serials or unpublished manuscripts or restored versions continue to appear so that he has averaged a new book every four months for seventy-five years. Beyond this, some work by him is newly reprinted every week of every year in one or another format somewhere in the world."
